"The Commissioner’s speech on climate change did not leave much room for a satisfactory result in Durban. She more or less said that an internationally binding agreement was pie in the sky and that this was because of others, not because of us. Contrary to this pessimistic climate, all of us who voted in favour of the resolution on climate change did so in order to send a strong message of political will concerning certain objectives: - to adopt a global, integrated, legally binding framework that includes a strict implementation timetable for containing the rise in temperature of the planet to below 2°C compared with pre-industrial values; - to bridge the yawning gap between the ambitions of the parties and the scientific data, by stopping dirty developments; - to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 compared with 1990 levels; - to offer developing countries proper financing and technological assistance; - to protect the planet’s tropical forests; - to put an end to the millions of climate refugees. The economic crisis should not be used as an alibi for a Copenhagen-type failure. The climate cannot wait, nor can mankind."@en1
